(Here the Cleric reed from the Journals an aceOunt of the detiate eettieh ensued upon the motion for erecting dnionuinent to CaPtain Faulknee, of the Blanche frigate; . who fell in adion in ike year: 1795: Upott the ground of a claim from general services the n niotio n n was rejeded ; but upon being atuendid by stating his seiviceies performed toWeirda the islande of Martinique and Guadaloope, it was agreed to.) . The Mon. Gentleman said, that on this occasion he rose to move .a great national honour to a Oat national' here. He trusted no one would itn- Pete Whim any atfeclation of doing himself honour by ceming.forward as he did. With reluctance he un dertook the task, and was only led to do so from the,, adventitious circumstances of: situation. He felt. it here necessary to Call the atteution of the House to the gallate sereicea dl. Ceptain Hardinge. Though he was but a stripling in years, yet he was a veteran In achievements. His short career was marked by the most brilliant exploits, ,and in every - service and Upon every occasion lie met with merited approba tion from his Commaedees. He had served under . that distinbiihed*Otiicer Sir S.SMith; at the siege of Acre. Ife next served caPptain ;Allier, and was reserved by tate for more important services to his country at the t ime 'that brave Officer was WOWI) up' le hie vessel. The next situation in whidi C ; ipe tain'Hardinge e weted be found was the command of a gun-boaeon the coat. of Egypt, and here his pe e . culler merits acquired foe him the reward of resold medal. After this lte - Was raised to the command of the Terror boMb, at - the bombarelment• of Gem ville, oft the coast of France. To his zeal and obi . . Pity on this occasion Sir . .1 Sziumarez bore the most ample testimony in the report' which he - made of it. Tin vessel n in which he served Invite; been `rendered petit by the damages she reeeived,Captain Hardinge was neet promoted to the Scorpion sloop of war. In thieeessel he acquired n considerable fame by Cut ting out trent a' port on the coast of Holland the Atalanta gun-brig, a vessel of far superior force. This service was the more brilliant as .it ' was -per funned by his boats only. And here it would bean act oeinjustiee to pass over the Merits of Captain Perry, who assisted in the enterprize, having put himself under the command of Captain Harthuge. The modesty of Captain Hardinge, in his account of this eransadion, did not form the, least worthytrait in-it . But his •Commanding Officer (Lord Keith) did not, howe'Vere. o‘erook the service ,performed, because it was modestly represented, arid accorditie4 Iy it would be. found that in his dispatch on thae•oc he gave scope to the dietateS of hi, fixiing l in the reprerfeatien which be made of the service performed:try Captains Hardlnge and PerrY.'
